Marea South Beach

Marea is a boutique luxury condominium, where the built beauty — the commissioned art, architectural design and urban landscaping — is every bit as inviting as the natural Miami Beach beauty around it. Located in the heart of South of Fifth, the developers call Marea the neighborhood’s “one, final, spectacular property.” Josh Stein recommends this property, completed in 2015, to clients looking for a tranquil hideaway, delicately crafted by the world’s premier designers, architects and landscapers.

At just 24 stories, Marea lacks ostentation in a place where taller is thought to be better. Here, the compact glass with rooftop foliage give Marea the look of an oasis from the street and the feel of being connected to the Miami Beach pulse from each sweeping Bayview terrace. Most residences include multiple private terraces overlooking different urban and natural scenes. Even the lobby, Josh says, is a veritable modern art gallery, featuring the artists Riccardo De Marchi and Markus Linnenbrink.

Collins Avenue nightlife, South Pointe Park serenity and world-class dining and culture are just short walks away from Marea, and ownership also includes membership to an exclusive private beach club. Amenities also include butler service, worldwide iPad concierge service, poolside cabanas and dining, a rooftop Zen garden, and private massage pergolas.
